AEP Ohio will partner with Lime Energy Co. on its Small Business Direct Install Program, tapping the Huntersville, N.C.-based company to be the exclusive provider of energy-efficiency upgrades.

The three-year deal is aimed at bringing money- and energy-saving upgrades for both the utility company and its customers.

AEP Ohio will pay up to 80 percent of project costs to encourage small-business customers to reduce wasted energy and lower their monthly electric bills, the company said in a press release.

“Implementing energy-efficient technologies will allow small-business owners throughout Ohio to create a better work environment and put money back in their pocket every month,” AEP Ohio’s Express Program coordinator Al Kohler said in a statement.

Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Lime Energy (NASDAQ:LIME) delayed its third-quarter financial report as it deals with accounting issues related to past earnings reports, according to the Charlotte Business Journal.
